Architecture
Document Ocean 360 helps architecture firms manage drawing registers, control revisions, issue client transmittals, and route approvals — in a system built for how design teams produce and distribute controlled documents.
From concept sketches to issued-for-construction drawing sets, an architecture firm's document trail must be perfectly version-controlled, traceable, and auditable at every stage. A single outdated elevation issued to a contractor can cause costly rework and contractual disputes.
Managing this with shared drives and email — or forcing it into a general project management tool — creates unacceptable risk. What architectural document management requires is a system built specifically for it: an ADMS that understands revision codes, transmittal protocols, multi-stakeholder review, and drawing register standards.
Maintain a live drawing register across all packages — architectural, structural, and MEP — organized by sheet types and design phases: concept, schematic design, design development, and construction documents. Supersede, re-issue, and track drawing status in real time, including coordination drawings between disciplines. Every revision is archived with author, date, revision code, and associated approval record.
Configure approval workflows by discipline (architecture, interiors, landscape), review stage, or project phase. Assign reviewers per drawing type, set sequential or parallel review paths, and track every comment and decision with a permanent audit trail.
Issue transmittals for client submissions to planning authorities, consultant packages, and contractor issue sets — with automatic numbering, cover sheet generation, and receipt confirmation. Every transmittal is permanently logged with issue date, drawing list, and response status.
Apply consistent document numbering conventions across all project documents — project codes, phase prefixes, sheet type codes, and sequential counters. Custom metadata schemas per document type ensure every field your architects need is captured and searchable.
Manage the full drawing register, control revision cycles, process transmittals, and maintain the audit trail — all from a single dashboard built for how architectural document controllers actually work.
Access current drawings, renderings, and specifications, submit and track requests for information, and monitor review status without chasing approvals through email.
Full visibility into drawing register status, outstanding approvals, and client transmittal log across all project phases — in real time.
